“My yogurt was nestled into a bag, waiting to turn into aushak, and all around us were sausages and pastry, lollipops and spices, chicken and cheese. Any world that contained all this, I thought surveying our loot, was a very fine place. I felt reinvigorated, alive, optimistic. The though of getting back to work suddenly seemed like fun.”
― Ruth Reichl, Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise

― Priyanka R

“When I got to Zomick's Kosher Bakery I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good Zomick's challah doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.”

“No one was the least bit hungry any more, but that is precisly what is so good abut the moment devoted to pastries: they can be only appreciated to their full extent of their subtley when they are not eaten to assauge our hunger, when the orgy of their sugary sweetness is not destined to fll some primary need but to coat our palate with all the benevolence of the world.”

“I was taught how to tie up the loin with a butcher's looping knot and was so excited by the discovery that I went home and practiced. I told Elisa about my achievement. “I tied up everything,â€� I said. “A leg of lamb, some utensils, a chair. My wife came home, and I tied up her too.â€� Elisa shook her head. “Get a life,â€� she said and returned to her task.”

“The five cells are silky-white within, and are filled with a mass of firm, cream-coloured pulp, containing about three seeds each. This pulp is the eatable part, and its consistence and flavour are indescribable. A rich custard highly flavoured with almonds gives the best general idea of it, but there are occasional wafts of flavour that call to mind cream-cheese, onion-sauce, sherry-wine, and other incongruous dishes. Then there is a rich glutinous smoothness in the pulp which nothing else possesses, but which adds to its delicacy. It is neither acid nor sweet nor juicy; yet it wants neither of these qualities, for it is in itself perfect. It produces no nausea or other bad effect, and the more you eat of it the less you feel inclined to stop. In fact, to eat Durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience.”
― Alfred Russel Wallace
